ASTM D 2166 - 06 Standard Test Method for Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved July 15, 2006. Published January 2007. 6 p. This test method covers the determination of the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soil in the intact, remolded, or reconstituted condition, using strain-controlled application of the axial load.
This test method provides an approximate value of the strength of cohesive soils in terms of total stresses.
